helena seger wife WAG paris transferRegrettably, Drew, we did notice the ‘do. What kind of uglyitis fashion abomination was that?

We also picked up on Francesco Acerbi’s ‘I’m sad in a butterfly sit’ sulking, Vito Mannone going down on Ibrahim Afellay – literally – and the fact that we carelessly misplaced our binders full of ‘ballers during halftime (thanks for the idea, Mittens), which were still ruing several caffeinated hours later.

How did woeful loss Wednesday treat our lovely readers? Were you disturbed by your late night snack choices (we stress ate our nails to basically nothing).

Col’s diamond earrings, fabulously visible to the naked eye. The camo jacket, no comment. The Thursday Friday bag on her right shoulder, misunderstood.

Wait a second, what is that thing? An artist’s hand-sketched rendering of a Balenciaga bag? In appliqué form? Steam pressed on canvas? Can we invent a new word like cappliqué to represent our emotional state of unwell shoulder bag being?
